Douluo: I am an evil soul master, working from nine to five in the Tang Sect

Chapter 88 Strength
Even though the female student in front of him, like Yao Haoxuan, was a five-ring soul king, she was unable to even resist under the scythe of death released by Luo Chen, and had no intention of resisting at all.

However, Luo Chen did not find it strange. After all, he knew very well how powerful his own Death Scythe martial soul was. Even Du Weilun, an eight-ringed Soul Douluo, was frightened by this terrifying breath of death.

However, at this moment, not only the female student in front of him who was being stared at with the Death Stare by Luo Chen, but also the group of inner courtyard students standing behind him, were all looking at Luo Chen in front of them with solemn expressions.

Because the aura emanating from Luo Chen at this moment was beyond the imagination of several people. Everyone present had an estimate of the strength of Luo Chen in front of them. After all, his soul power was only that of a three-ring soul master.

Even though he could rely on his physical strength and that unknown move to compete with Yao Haoxuan, who had the power of a six-ring Soul Emperor, his true strength, in the eyes of several people, was just that of an ordinary Soul King.

Even if they released their own martial souls and spirit rings, it would be far from possible for them to contend with a true five-ring spirit king, let alone those inner court students who had practiced in Shrek Academy for a long time?

However, what no one expected was that after Luo Chen in front of them released his martial soul, his combat power would undergo such a horrifying change. The aura that was originally only at the Soul Master level directly rose to a level that was enough to surprise them all!

The situation of the female student in front of them was just as they felt. In just a moment, Luo Chen didn't even take any action, but forcibly suppressed her before she could react and release her martial spirit.

The strong aura of death shocked everyone present. No one could have imagined that this external college student in front of them would have such a terrifying aura of death!

Moreover, the aura of death emanating from its body was even more terrifying than those ten thousand year old soul beasts they had seen!
But that’s not all.

The three dazzling soul rings floating up and down one by one behind Luo Chen also gave the people present great surprise. After all, the soul rings that appeared behind Luo Chen at this moment were not some soul rings that were ten or a hundred years old.

Instead, there were two purple thousand-year soul rings and a pitch-black ten-thousand-year soul ring that exuded a strong sense of oppression!
Such an unreasonable configuration of spirit rings was what surprised everyone present. Being able to absorb a thousand-year-level spirit ring at the second spirit ring position was not surprising. After all, there were many such monstrous students in the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy.

But what surprised them was that not only was Luo Chen’s second soul ring a thousand-year soul ring, but even his first and third soul rings were far beyond the limit of what could be absorbed!
The soul ring that appeared at the first soul ring position was actually a thousand-year level soul ring, and the soul ring at the third soul ring position even broke through to the ten-thousand-year level in one fell swoop!

This means that when he was still a soul master, his physical fitness and spiritual realm had reached the level of a three-ring soul master. When he broke through the three-ring soul master, his soul power and mental power soared again!

The Soul Master level is able to absorb ten thousand year soul rings that normally only the Five-ring Soul Kings can absorb. Not only that, the three soul rings are all absorbed across levels, and what is crossed is not just a small level, but an entire realm!

They have seen many talented students who were able to break through to the three-ring Soul Master level in their first year in the outer courtyard. However, they had never heard of a monster like Luo Chen who was able to possess two purple thousand-year soul rings and a ten-thousand-year soul ring that could not be explained by common sense when he was a three-ring Soul Master!

Only now did they realize why the academy had allowed Luo Chen to enter the Sea God Island to practice.

The combat power and spirit ring configuration that could be described as exaggerated were enough to make the school take it seriously.

To be honest, Luo Chen's talent is even more terrifying than that of Yao Haoxuan, a genius student with an extremely fast cultivation speed. After all, Yao Haoxuan is just a little faster in cultivation speed. Maybe he will have the opportunity to break through to the Six-Ring Soul Emperor before the age of 20, and then become a core student in the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy.

However, the fast cultivation speed does not mean that the upper limit of his cultivation is also high. Being able to cultivate to such a level at this age is nothing. There are many such talented students in Shrek Academy. However, his actual combat power is also very strong. This is the reason why he was promoted to the inner courtyard by the school.

For himself, his cultivation speed is so fast that he has already reached the level of a five-ring Soul King. If he still hangs around in the outer courtyard, it will definitely affect his progress. After all, if he competes with a group of students who are at most at the Soul Master level, the benefits he can get will be very small.

Even if he won, it wouldn't mean anything. After all, with the cultivation of five soul rings, even if he simply used soul power to suppress them, he could defeat a group of three-ring soul masters and two-ring great soul masters.

At this moment, he came to the inner courtyard to study and compete with a group of strong men who were also five-ring Soul Kings, or even six-ring Soul Emperors and seven-ring Soul Saints. He would gain a lot from that.

Not everyone has such talent, but the students who can enter the inner courtyard to study and practice are undoubtedly the best in Shrek Academy. Their future achievements will definitely be able to break through to the Seven-Ring Soul Saint, and this is only the minimum standard.

However, not all talented students have the strength that matches their talents. Just like when Yao Haoxuan first came to the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy, many inner courtyard students were defeated by him.

Even though they both have the cultivation level of a Five-Ring Soul King, and he is even an auxiliary soul master, even if he is fighting against an offensive soul king, he can still suppress and defeat the opponent!

Although after coming to Shrek Inner Court, he lost more than he won when competing with other Inner Court students, this also indirectly reflected that not all Inner Court students were as gifted as Zhang Lexuan and him.

Just like at this moment, the inner court students standing in front of Luo Chen, although their cultivation is also at the Soul King level, but in terms of real strength, they can't even beat Yao Haoxuan, who is an auxiliary soul master.

This is exactly why Luo Chen is not optimistic about the students in front of him. In Luo Chen's view, one's own talent is one thing, but one's own efforts are more important!
The innate talent can only determine the starting point of cultivation, but one's own efforts can affect the end point of cultivation.

At least Luo Chen thought so. Even if his own martial soul was so powerful, if he didn't work hard to practice, he wouldn't be able to truly show the power of his Death Scythe martial soul! On this continent, there were many geniuses who were extremely talented from the beginning, who had the innate full soul power to practice, and whose martial souls surpassed the vast majority of soul masters. However, these geniuses with powerful talents were not few.

They are often extremely proud, arrogant and complacent. Even if they have extremely high talents, they are unable to extricate themselves from their comfort zone, thus gradually heading towards the path of self-degradation.

However, this was not the case with Luo Chen. He had been "forced" to work hard from the very beginning, because if he did not work hard to seize every opportunity he could get, he might have already fallen under the claws of a soul beast.

It is simply impossible for him to be as energetic as he is now, communicating and learning with the inner courtyard students of Shrek Academy on Poseidon Island.

Luo Chen had only used 50% of his strength at this moment, but he had already made all the inner courtyard students feel like they were facing a formidable enemy, although this was also because Luo Chen's own strength had indeed greatly improved.

But in Luo Chen's opinion, the inner courtyard students who can enter the inner courtyard to study should not have only this kind of strength. If Yao Haoxuan, who has just joined Shrek Academy like him, is now at the standard level, then none of the inner courtyard students in front of him have met the standard!
Not to mention reaching the level of Zhang Lexuan, her strength has completely transcended the concept of "student" and reached the level of "strong man". She is already an extremely strong man who can stand on her own!

Possessing a hundred thousand year spirit ring and being so powerful, he is the representative of all the inner school students of Shrek Academy and is also the goal that Luo Chen strives for.

As for this group of unqualified inner courtyard students in front of him, Luo Chen simply did not understand what qualifications they had to enter the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy to study. In his opinion, compared to this group of people in front of him, even Tai'an, who was only a second-ring great soul master, was more qualified to enter the inner courtyard to study.

"Weak, too weak, unable to even resist. With your strength, you are able to enter the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy. I really want to know if you are qualified for this."

Looking at the female student in front of him whose soul power cultivation was at the level of a five-ring soul king, she couldn't even break free from the strong control effect of his Death Gaze soul skill. This made Luo Chen frown and complain.

However, what he didn't know was that after his own Death Scythe martial soul awakened, he possessed the power of death that could activate the rules of death, and after absorbing the ten thousand year soul ring, each of his own soul skills were greatly improved.

The Death Gaze soul skill, which was originally only capable of strong control soul skill, now has a certain ability to shock the soul and suppress the mind.

The mental strength of the inner court student in front of him was obviously not as good as Luo Chen, who had already cultivated the Purple Demon Pupil to the level of "mustard seed". This led to the fact that when Luo Chen's powerful soul control skill was used on him, the other party did not resist at all.

"Okay, Luo Chen, I called them here just for you to exchange ideas with them. I don't mean for you to defeat them one by one."

At this moment, after Luo Chen finished speaking, the inner courtyard students were about to speak, but Zhang Lexuan on the side was one step faster than them and spoke to Luo Chen.

Compared to the inner court students who had reached the level of Five-Ring Soul King, Zhang Lexuan was obviously not affected at all by the strong breath of death. The incomparably powerful soul power in her body naturally blocked the breath outside her body.

Not only that, when he opened his mouth, a terrifying aura of death that was even more powerful than Luo Chen's aura of death emanated from his body.

Feeling this terrifying aura, Luo Chen raised his eyebrows. He had only felt this level of aura on Xuan Zi. He thought that this should be the terrifying aura unique to a hundred thousand year soul ring!
Even though Luo Chen can now easily kill a ten thousand year soul ring, he still feels a sense of palpitations when facing this powerful aura. This is the instinct of life. When facing a strong person who surpasses oneself by a lot, the body will automatically give a warning.

The gap between a ten thousand year soul ring and a hundred thousand year soul ring is so huge that an ordinary ten thousand year soul beast that has not survived the heavenly tribulation, even if it is a ninety thousand year soul beast, is far from being able to compete with a true hundred thousand year soul beast.

Because after a hundred thousand year soul beast has withstood the heavenly tribulation and officially crossed the first natural chasm, not only will its own strength increase exponentially, but even its own mental power will be greatly enhanced. Its intelligence will break through from that of an ordinary soul beast to a level that can compete with humans.

A soul beast that has reached this level can be called a soul beast lord. It can even transform into a human form for a short period of time and command the soul beasts of a group. Therefore, it is naturally not comparable to an ordinary ten thousand year soul beast.

However, there are also several soul beasts that can ignore this and fight against opponents of a higher level in the true sense, such as Taian's own martial soul, the Titan Giant Ape, and several soul beast overlords in the Star Dou Great Forest, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, the Golden Eyed Black Dragon, etc...

Even if this type of soul beast has not yet survived the heavenly tribulation and broken through to the level of one hundred thousand years of cultivation, when it reaches the level of ten thousand years of cultivation, it still possesses the combat power of a hundred thousand year soul beast, and can suppress an ordinary ten thousand year soul beast in a hundred years!

However, the gap among humans is not that big. Not to mention an ordinary Soul King defeating a Titled Douluo, even those like Luo Chen who can easily defeat a Five-ring Soul King with the cultivation level of a Three-ring Soul Master are very rare.

Therefore, when facing Zhang Lexuan, who possessed the cultivation level of an eight-ring Soul Douluo and a hundred thousand year soul ring, Luo Chen, who had always fought against opponents of different levels, was unable to compete with her. After all, the gap between the two was too big.

Not to mention that he was able to defeat the three-ringed Soul Master with the five-ringed Soul King. Even if Du Weilun, who was also an eight-ringed Soul Douluo, came, he would not be able to gain the slightest advantage over Zhang Lexuan!
